Definitions
- the invention relates to a spoke of the type including the characteristics mentioned in the preamble to the main claim and also relates to a method for the production thereof.
- wheel spokes including those made of light alloy, comprise a shaft having an end (for example, shaped with an enlarged head) for attachment to the wheel hub and, at the axially opposite end, a thread onto which a nipple, by means of which the spoke is connected to the wheel rim, is screwed adjustably.
- a spoke with these characteristics can easily be produced from strong materials such as steel but presents some problems of mechanical strength when made of aluminium alloy. The greatest problem arises in the region of the nipple screw-thread which is liable to give way and be damaged under stress. The spoke consequently becomes loose or breaks.
- JP60080901A2 in the name of MITSUBISHI RAYON CO. LTD. describes a composite wheel spoke including a reinforced-resin shaft with a fibre reinforcement, on the ends of which respective metal terminals are fitted.
- this solution is not suitable for the production of light alloy spokes since it involves a considerable dimensional increase of the ends of the spoke in the region of the terminals, relative to the shaft.
- the shaft In light alloy spokes, the shaft itself is already thick.
- the main task of the invention is to provide a strong and reliable spoke, preferably of the type having a light alloy shaft.
- an important object of the invention is to define a method for the production of such a spoke in a reliable and secure manner with reasonably low costs.
- Another object of the invention is to limit the dimensions of the spoke, in particular in the region of the nipple screw-thread and/or in the region of the head.
- a further object of the invention is to permit the use of conventional rims and nipples whilst using light alloy spokes.
- FIG. 1 is a partially-sectioned, elevational view of a detail of a bicycle wheel equipped with a spoke according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an elevational view of a detail of the spoke of Figure 1, on an enlarged scale
- FIG. 3 is a partially-sectioned, elevational view of a detail of a bicycle wheel equipped with a spoke according to a variant of the present invention
- FIG. 4 and 5 are elevational views, on an enlarged scale, of the details indicated by the arrows IV and V of Figure 3, respectively, - Figures 6 and 7 are partially-sectioned front and side views of a wheel spoke according to a further variant of the invention,
- FIG. 8 is a section through a detail of the spoke of Figures 6 and 7, on an enlarged scale
- FIG. 9 is an elevational view of a further spoke according to the invention
- - Figure 10 incorporates a series of cross-sectional views of various profiles of the spoke of Figure 9, ,
- FIG. 11 to 17 are elevational views of spokes of different shapes produced in accordance with the invention
- the pairs of Figures 18-19,. 20-21 and 22-23 are front and side elevational views, respectively, of a corresponding number of spokes produced in accordance with the invention
- a spoked wheel generally indicated R, includes a rim C connected to a wheel hub (not shown), by means of a plurality of spokes 10.
- Each spoke is connected to the wheel hub at one end by means of an attachment having a head 11 (the shape and arrangement of the head 11 may be varied as desired) and to the rim C at ;the other end by means of a respective nipple N.
- Each spoke 10 comprises a straight shaft 12 which, in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, is formed, integrally with the head li, from light alloy, for example, aluminium alloy.
- light alloy for example, aluminium alloy.
- the alloys most suitable for this purpose the following are mentioned: Anticorodal 100, Avional 22, Avional 14, Avional
- a terminal element 15 carrying a screw thread 19 for the nipple N is fitted on the longitudinal end 13 of the shaft 12 remote from the head 11, by fixing means 14.
- the fixing means 14 comprise a stud-bolt- type connection with a blind axial hole 16 in the end of the shaft 12 and a self- tapping thread 17 on the terminal element 15.
- the terminal element is made of steel and therefore- has greater mechanical strength than the material of which- the shaft is made. Both the hole 16 and the thread 17 are formed with conical profiles.
- the terminal element 15 is preferably driven into the shaft 12 with interference, bringing about a localized expansion deformation thereof which is barely visible in Figure 1.
- the shaft 12 and the terminal element 15 which is to be arranged as an extension thereof are prepared separately.
- An axial hole 16 is then drilled in the shaft and the terminal element 15 is fitted on the shaft with a stud-bolt-type connection, firmly fixing the shaft and the terminal element together axially with interference.
- the sppke thus formed is tear-resistant in the nipple-screwing region and is light and robust. It also has limited dimensions particularly with regard to the nipple- screwing region so as to permit the use of standard nipples.
- the invention is also suitable for the production of spokes of the type with a head anchored to the rim and a nipple anchored to the wheel hub.
- the spoke may be equipped with terminal elements of the type described at both of its longitudinal ends for fixing by means of nipples or similar devices both to the rim and to the hub.
- Figures 3 to 5 show an example of such a spoke, generally indicated 30.
- the spoke 30 has a light- alloy shaft drilled with blind holes 31 at both of its opposite ends.
- Respective terminal elements ; 32, 33 made of steel or other material with good mechanical strength are inserted in the two holes 31 with a stud-bolt-type connection.
- the first terminal element 32 is similar to the element 15 and is provided with a threaded portion for the screwing of the nipple N.
- the second terminal element is shaped as a standard attachment with a head 11 and an elbow 34.
- the second element may also be formed so as to be straight, or with a threaded portion, or in another manner.
- light-alloy spokes can also be used on wheels the overall structure (rim and/or hub) of which is designed for the fitting of steel spokes, resulting in greater compactness and smaller dimensions both of the rim and of the hub, to the benefit of lightness and aerodynamic characteristics, etc.
- a third variant of the spoke of the invention is indicated 40 in Figures 6 to 8.
- the shaft 41 of the spoke 40 is flattened in its intermediate portion by calendering or an equivalent technique and has circular-sectioned cylindrical end portions 42, 43 in which the respective blind axial holes 44, 45 are formed.
- Each of the terminal elements 46, 47 carries a threaded portion 48, 49 to be screwed into the respective hole 44, 45, preferably with a force fit.
- the terminal element 46 carries a second, opposed threaded portion for the screwing of the nipple, and the element 47 carries a so-called Z-shaped head for engaging a corresponding hole in the hub.
- the extent of the axial holes 44, 45 is such that, when the corresponding threaded portion 48, 49 has been fully screwed in, a free chamber 50 no less than approximately one third of the overall length of the hole remains in the hole. It has been found that this chamber 50 is useful for distributing, within adequate and tolerable values, the excess pressures resulting both from the deformation of the shaft of the spoke due to the forcing of the corresponding terminal element and from the increase in pressure of the fluids that are trapped in the chamber 50 during the screwing of the threaded portion 48, 49.
- the invention thus solves the problem posed and affords many advantages over the prior art.
- it permits the use of conventional rims and hubs without requiring any specific adaptation.
- the spoke is strong and reliable.
- Not the least advantage- is that it is light and suitable , to be manufactured with advantageous aerodynamic profiles and/or profiles with distinctive aesthetic effects which, amongst other things, can confer on the assembled wheel a visual effect similar to that of a wheel with integral spokes.
- profiles are described in Italian patent application No. BO 2002A783, the text of which is considered to be included in the present description, forming an integral part thereof.
- These, profiles are represented, by way of example, by the spoke cross-sections 114a-f which are described with reference to Figures 9 and 10. They are produced by a processing method which comprises the preparation of semi-finished elements in the form of billets of light alloy such as the alloys identified above (trade names Ergal, Avional, Peraluman, Anticorodal), which are cut into pieces of suitable length and subjected to press-forging in a press suitably equipped with dies and matrices suitable for the forging of metal alloy spokes.
- Figures 11 to 17 relate to alternative embodiments of the spoke that can be produced by the method. From the front, they are substantially lance- shaped, having a longitudinal aperture 118 which extends from a first end 102 to a second end 104. Substantially triangular lateral ribs 119, arranged reflectively symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the spoke, are provided in the region of the first and second ends. The second end 104 is bent into an elbow ( Figure 12) to facilitate the engagement of the head 107 in the respective hole provided in the wheel hub.
- Figure 13 is a front view of a lanceolate spoke having a longitudinal slotlike aperture 118 interrupted by a pair of bridges 120 in a substantially X- shaped arrangement.
- Figure 14 relates to an embodiment in which the two bridges 120 are arranged parallel to one another, substantially diagonally, and Figure 15 shows a further embodiment provided with four substantially transverse bridges 120.
- a further embodiment is shown in Figure 16; it provides for the formation of four substantially lozenge-shaped, aligned longitudinal apertures 118.
- Figure 17 shows another embodiment of the spoke which can be produced by the method according to the invention, in which the first end 102 for fixing to the rim is substantially Y-shaped with two shanks 105 having respective threaded portions 106 which, engage in respective nipples.
- the spoke has a substantially Y-shaped central aperture 118 corresponding to the shape of the spoke itself.
- the central portions 103 of the embodiments of the spokes shown in Figures 11-17 have composite cross- sections which, moreover, are variable from one end of the same spoke to the • other.
- the spoke has a simple or composite cross-section of the central portion 103 (in the embodiment in question, the central portion is substantially flattened), both the first end 102 and the second end 104 having respective cylindrical shanks 105 having threaded end portions 106 for engagement in respective nipples.
- Figures 22 and 23 show a front view and a side elevation, respectively, of the spoke of Figures 20, 21, but in which the second end 104 forms a head 107 for engagement in the wheel hub.
- FIG 24 shows an embodiment of the spoke which can be produced by the method according to the invention and in which the first and second ends 102, 104 are removable, that is, interchangeable.
- each of the ends 102, 104 is substantially in the form of a partially threaded shaft which is engaged releasably, with the aid of a lock nut 121, in a respective female thread formed in the central portion 103 of the spoke.
- the ends 102, 104 form respective spherical heads 107 for anchoring to the hub and to the rim of the wheel.
- the spokes that can be produced by the method according to the invention are distinguished by a high degree of strength, toughness and resilience, combined with considerable lightness. They also permit the production of wheels with aesthetic and functional ⁇ haracteristics which are innovative with respect to conventional types; moreover, a further considerable production advantage can be recognized and consists in that there is no need to provide a complete wheel die, as for the production of monolithic diecast wheels, but the geometry of the wheel can be varied appreciably simply by replacing the spoke-forging dies and matrices.
